The weekend is finally here and there is so much good music all over! The Crystal Method turn things up a notch at the Summer Concert Series after the final race at the track, and the Aggrolites keep things cooking at the Belly Up just down the street. Tiltwheel don't get together often, but when they do, it is always a rad time so you can check them out at the Tower Bar or catch Soft Lions and Hills Like Elephants at Bar Pink. Cold Showers at the Hideout and Spank Rock at Soda Bar give plenty of reasons to hop back and forth between the two venues on El Cajon Boulevard, but I'm partial to the lineup at the Casbah. This show, as tomorrow's, was only put together a couple of days ago after the medical emergency that resulted in the cancellation of two sold-out shows with Lucy's Fur Coat, but it is a testament to the strength of the local scene and the power of Tim Mays that such a good lineup was able to come together at the last minute. Whatever you might choose tonight, you're sure to find great music everywhere you turn.
